Peter Bull
is a local developer living in Gateshead and has worked on a variety of
development projects from an online second-hand book store to his own
Windows Phone apps, one of which got over a quarter of a million
downloads. This month he’s releasing a Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1
Universal Application Tutorial each day, in this presentation he’ll
cover how writing universal apps now (for Windows 8.1 / Phone 8.1) will

promise of truly universal apps is about to be delivered Peter learned a
lot from the process with Windows 8 and will share his knowledge with
the group.
